To all whom 'it may concern:

Be it known that I, Louis F'. GILLETTE, a citizen of the United States, residing at Concord, in the county of Merrimack and State of- New l-Iampshire, have invented new and useful Improvements in Therapeu-- l tic Bottles, of which the following is a specitication. My invention relates to therapeutic water bottles, and its object is to combine in one receptacle the features and advantages of a Specication of Letters Patent.

het water bottle with those of a reservoir' for fountain syringes.

The invention will be hereinafter fully set forth and particularly pointed out in the claims.

In the accompanying drawing similar numerals of designation refer to similar parts throughout the several views.

Figure 1 is a front elevation of my improved water bottle showing the detachable stopper. water bottle shown in F ig. 1. Fig. 3 is a vertical section of the valve located at the bottom of the bottle, and showing the same closed. Fig. e is a section similar'to that of Fig. 8, but showingthe valve open.

Referring to the drawing, the receptacle constructed of two circular plates 6 and composed of copper or some other suitable metal secured together at their edges 8 by soldering, brazing or welding the same to form a hermetically tight joint. Thesaid plates 6 and 7 are preferably made of thin sheet metal in order to render the bottle as light aspossible, but are sufiiciently'stitf to resist ordinary external pressure or v10- lence to which it may be subjected. I have found by actual experience that by constructingmy bottle of approximately circular sheets of metal that I reduce to a .minimum the danger ofcollapse, and render it possible to use a smaller amount of metal than with other forms. Each plate or sheet is shaped so that the exterior surface is concaved at the center and convexed ad-v jacent to its edge.

'The neck 9 of the bottle is constructed in the well, known form used in receptacles designed forvarious uses now on the market, and is closed by the stopper 10 which is threaded to engage the same. the loss of the stopper, I secure it by the chain 1l and the ring 12 which incloses the shank -of the loop 13, but permits the stopper to be turned freely in either direction.

To prevent Fig. 2 is a side elevation of the' Patented May 9, 1911.

To suspend the bottle I employ the ringy 14 which is pivotally secured to the plate 7 near the top` thereof or to the base of the neck of the bottle as shown in F ig. 2.

At the bottom of the receptacle 5, directly beneath theneclr 9 thereof, I secure within an`opening made therefor the casing 15 which is constructed of a strip of metal bent into cylindrical forni, and has at the top thereof the perforated head 16. Preferably said casing '15, the head 16, and adjacent rparts aref'br'azed together, or otherwise permanently united, and permit no passage of the Water except through the perforations 17 formed near the edge of the head 16. VVithinthe cylindrical casing 15, I introduce the hollow stem 18, formed with a flange 19Jt-hreaded to engage with the in terior ofsaid outlet, and having its lower end flanged at 20 .for the purpose of furnishing a connection for the end o'f the tube of a fountain syringe. Above the flange 19 and surrounding the upper portion of the hollow stem, which is here shown flaring, I secure the ring or gasketlQl composed of any suitable ketbeing disposed so as to be exactly underneath and fully cover the perforations 17. At the lower end ofthe cylindrical casing 15, is the cap 22 which is threaded to` engage with the exterior of said casing, and 1s provided with the gasket 23 for the purpose of permitting the flange 19 to be turned down upon the same and thereby to prevent escape of the water around the lthreaded portions thereof.

As represented, my improved water bottle is constructedfor a vdouble purpose; rst, for use as a h'ot Water bottle; secondly, for use as '-a reservoir y'for a fountain syringe. When employed for the lrstl purpose, the valve of the .cylindrical casing is kept tightly closed as shown '.in Fig. 3, and' after the hot I water is introduced, the stopper is screwed down .tightly in to the neckl ofthe bottle.

YVhen used for the second purpose, the stopper is removed and the receptacle filled to packing material, the said gasthe extent desired with the' fluid to be introi duced into the syringe. The bottle is then suspended by the ring 14 in a vertical posi- .tion against the wall or in other suitable location, and the hollow stem 18 is connected to the rubber tube of the syringe, and is turned .to the position show n in Fig. 4, where it will be observed the p erforations are left uncovered and the passage of the water mainly @umide 0355 ih@ affzefw'r TIGER and imm.
